if you play somebody with red burn card, wait to get 1 of the 12 counters. The chance is pretty good that they also will burn the mage immediately because they want the named card to be played. You counter it. It's that simple.

into your hand. In the early turns, you might want to just look for the shadowmage. You will have to protect it with all your available counters, because it's the ´´heart´´ of the card drawing purpose of this deck.

. The Shadowmage is good, especially against red burn decks as long as you get familiars out. The opponent will probably have only crappy weenies, because you have to also save your counters for the Kavu Titan

. You don't want to sacrifice the familiars against a 5/5 Trample or a 7/7 Trample, which also reduces Reya's cost into just 5 for a 4/9 Flying creature. However, do not attack with her please, she's just to reanimate your dead strong creatures, like the Iridescent Angel

s and 4 Kavu titans out, no problem, Dromar, attack, if they have flying, boomerang, your enemy will take 6 damage, (which is pretty good), and plus his titans and wurms back to his hands, that is pretty actually bad for them and good for you, like smelling fresh air in Niagara Falls or bungee jumping 90,000 feet from a UFO. The main offensive card of this deck is the Iridescent Angel
